AdminTottenham Hotspur are reportedly eyeing Bayer Leverkusen defender Jonathan Tah in the upcoming winter transfer window, hoping to secure him in a potential bargain deal.
With a need to strengthen their central defence, Spurs are looking to bring in fresh talent, as the current depth at the back remains a concern for manager Ange Postecoglou.
Although Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven are strongly established as the starting centre-backs, there is limited quality cover, with Radu Dragusin the only real backup option.
Veteran Ben Davies could also be called upon if needed, but Postecoglou has long highlighted the need for further recruitment in this area.
Tah, 28, has been a steady performer for Leverkusen, bringing both experience and physicality to the backline.
Spurs see him as a valuable addition, offering depth and competition for places in central defence.
However, their hopes of securing him in January have been dashed. According to Spanish source AS, Leverkusen are not open to a mid-season sale, a setback for Tottenham as they look to bolster their defensive options.
Despite his contract expiring in the summer, Xabi Alonso’s hesitation to let Tah leave now indicates the German club’s valuation of his contributions.
For Spurs, this leaves them in a difficult spot, with the option to either pursue alternatives in January or wait until the summer for a free transfer.
